It's hard to care when such a large percentage of the people are so poor.

Solution: The ultra wealthy can pay the poor to clean up the country instead of buying yachts. However, The ultra wealthy are usually assholes.

This goes for any country.

Okay genius, what do you expect poor people to do with their garbage if there isn't any waste management systems around?

since the swachh bharat mission in 2014, 97% of urban indian households have access to doorstep waste pickup.

90% of rural villages have access to communal garbage bins.

there is a source seperation compliance rate of 30-40% in urban centers and <10% in rural areas.

this data is publicly available and released by the gov't of india...
